Gleeful Discontent

My name is Marie. I like to think about stuff and occasionally write it down somewhere.

Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975, dir. Peter Weir)
“Horror need not always be a long-fanged gentleman in evening clothes or a  dismembered corpse or a doctor who keeps a brain in his gold fish bowl.  It may be a warm sunny day, the innocence of girlhood and hints of  unexplored sexuality that combine to produce a euphoria so intense it  becomes transporting, a state beyond life or death. Such horror is  unspeakable not because it is gruesome but because it remains outside  the realm of things that can be easily defined or explained in  conventional ways.”
